INVEST YOUR MONEY IN REAL ESTATE
9
II I ANY investors of large means are investing their money in the
\ I improved and unimproved lands near Gresham, especially
north and east, at the present time. Why? You will probably
answer the question by saying that there is an Electric Railway being
projected and sure to be built through that section. True. But you
ask one of these investors and he will tell you that the fundamental
reason is
Because the land is worth the money
anyway, and while the speculative chance exists it does not form the
basis for the investment. Also that the fact that the land is worth the
money aside from its speculative value cuts out the element of risk.
YOU CAN MAKE BIG INTEREST
on the money invested
by buying real estate now in
Thompson’s Addition to Gresham
labor 180
::
Why ?
Why ?
AjAO INVEST in real estate is an absolutely sure and safe investment.
You may put your money in the bank; the bank fails, you lose all
1 you have. You may invest in stocks and bonds. Somethin? comes
into the business world and destroys the security on which these
bonds are based, your money goes the way of many such speculations.
You may even build you a great business block upon some fine corner
business lot you may have. Along comes the relentless fire and your
fine business block is gone. But, ah 1 you notice you have something
left,—your REAL ESTATE, that fine business lot!
You may put your money into what promises to be an excellent busi
ness, but you overlook some important detail, your business goes to
pieces, your money is gone and you have nothing left.
But you invest your money in real estate and you have something
always. Fire will not bum it, and if you so will it you can have that
something always. Now while the investments first spoken of are going
on, said investments are enhancing the value of your town property in
proportion.
Conditions are creating demands that Gresham will have to satisfy.
The great fine farms and undeveloped lands are passing into hands that
will cut them up into small tracts and they will be sold to a people who
will make this the garden spot of the world. Where there was but one
family there will be twenty tr> forty families. With these will come to
Gresham greater mercantile establishments and consequently a great in
crease in the value of Gresham real estate.
OW you will have to acknowledge that Thompson'«
Addition to Gresham is by far the finest building site in
Gresham today. Its natural beauty, its natural drainage,—an
extremely important fact,—puts this Addition far to the front as
a home-building site. Ground all under cultivation; no stones, no
gravel, but all deep, rich soil.
N
We are selling these lots CHEAP
This fact is acknoweledged by prudent, careful investors. How
many times have you said, “How I wish I had bought such and such
a lot!” when some addition first opened up ? Don’t say this about
ThoitipHon'M Addition, but take advantage of past ex
perience and buy now and you won’t have to say it. Lost opportunity
never returns!
